Hi John
I'm not sure you can actually compete with it as it doesn't meet the national rules (4 wheels, etc.), but I'd give Ian a call about that one, he knows it better than I. Please, please bring it along though. I'd love to have a go down Scammo on it, and maybe if there arn't manysoapboxes there they'll allow it as a special case.
Joel

John, Chops!
Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
I'm standing over the sorry remains of a mini-crappy-moto bike, with a 9" grinder fitted with a fresh cutting disc in one hand...
Tell me where to cut the little b*stard!
Ride hard, stay safe.
Tom W.
P.S. Could you or chops email me some dimensions from your bike: wheelbase, width, offset position for third wheel etc... I want to make one as similar as possible so we can have a good matched race!
Send dims to : worsleytom'at'yahoo.co.uk

hey tom! having some problems with my mail provider so will post dimensions here as follows ... wheelbase is 53.5 inches. width (centre axle to centre axle) is 31.5 inches and the sidecar wheel is positioned 18.5 inches in front of the rear wheel. the head angle i can only accurately describe as steep! joel feels this could be relaxed a bit to reduce the twitchy nature of the bike but we like it the way it is considering it would have been pole in street luge! hope this helps and look forward to see what you come up with cheers...john ;D

it would have been pole in street luge! yes, but you and it did have the combined weight of a herd of elephants, and about 1/4 the common sense!
